Summary
<p>Sam Harris is an author, podcaster, public intellectual, ex-New Atheist, card-returning IDWer, and someone who likely needs no introduction. This is especially the case if you are a DTG listener as we recently released a full-length decoding episode on Sam.</p><p>Following that episode, Sam generously agreed to come on to address some of the points we raised in the Decoding and a few other select topics. As you will hear we get into some discussions of the lab leak, what you can establish from introspection and the nature of self, motivations for extremism, coverage of the conflict and humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and selective application of criticism.</p><p>Also covered in the episode are Andrew Huberman's dog and his thanking eyes, Joe Rogan's condensed conspiracism, and the value of AI protocol searches.</p><p><strong>Links</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://decoding-the-gurus.captivate.fm/episode/sam-harris" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Our Decoding Episode on Sam</a></li><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JdzZGhQAPE" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Our interview with three virologists on the Lab Leak</a></li><li><a href="https://jabberwocking.com/i-read-the-entire-slack-archive-about-the-origin-of-sars-cov-2-there-is-no-evidence-of-improper-behavior/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kevin Drum's blog.
